Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy has told his players that it's time to focus on football: 'Tell your agent to quit calling us and asking for more money.'
Mike Gundy is ready for some football. The longtime Oklahoma State coach told reporters last week 'it’s been hard to really focus on football' while having to deal with some of the newer realities of the game at the collegiate level, including the transfer portal and, apparently, agents calling on behalf of individual players looking for big bucks. But all of that is in the rearview mirror as the Cowboys prepare for their season opener against South Dakota State on Aug.
“The business side of what we do now is, we have to have those conversations with them,' Gundy said. ''Tell your agent to quit calling us and asking for more money. It's non-negotiable now, you know — start again in December.' 'So now we're able to direct ourselves just at football, and that part is fun. ‘Cause there’s been so much other stuff going on, it’s been hard to really focus on football.
